The filesize difference between ruby-1.8.1.tar.gz and the latest stable
snapshot is quite substantial.
ruby-1.8.1.tar.gz 2610 KB 12/24/2003 12:00:00 AM
snapshot.tar.gz 3435 KB 7/9/2004 7:00:00 PM
I think a more user-friendly Changelog that summarizes the major changes
between version would be greatly appreciated by many folks.
For example, Perl has the following as its changelog:
